She died in Florence in 1861.[3][4] A collection of her last poems was published by her husband shortly after her death. The critic Cynthia Scheinberg notes that female characters in Aurora Leigh and her earlier work "The Virgin Mary to the Child Jesus" allude to the female character Miriam from the Hebrew Bible.[26] These allusions to Miriam in both poems mirror the way in which Barrett Browning herself drew from Jewish history, while distancing herself from it, in order to maintain the cultural norms of a Christian woman poet of the Victorian Age.[26] ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x Marjorie Stone, "Browning, Elizabeth Barrett (1806–1861)", Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edition, October 2008.
